Monsanto now effectively controls food supply, because once their GMO POS seeds destroy all others, we will be dependent on their junk science to feed us, and there’s no conclusive data that GMOs are safe for human consumption.
One of the most evil corporations on Earth.
Should there be an exception for old farmers?
Clarence Thomas is a former Monsanto lawyer and he did not recuse himself.

It’s time someone patents a plant that cross pollinates with Monsanto’s patented crops like bunnies, then plant it around every Monsanto field in America then wait a season or two and then claim all of Monsanto’s crops are theirs!
From reading the actual court case it is pretty obvious that Bowman was in the wrong. If he did want to pay Monsanto to use their seeds, he should not have used their seeds.
QUICK!!
Somebody Patent the Liberal gene!!!
May be only way to control the spread of this DEFECT!!!

“It sells the seeds subject to a licensing agreement that permits farmers to plant the purchased seed in one, and only one, growing season. Growers may consume or sell the resulting crops, but may not save any of the harvested soy-beans for replanting. Petitioner Bowman purchased Roundup Ready soybean seed for his first crop of each growing season from a company associated with Monsanto and followed the terms of the licensing agreement. But to reduce costs for his riskier late-season planting, Bowman purchased soybeans intended for consumption from a grain elevator; planted them; treated the plants with glyphosate, killing all plants without the Roundup Ready trait; harvested the resulting soybeans that contained that trait;and saved some of these harvest-ed seeds to use in his late-season planting the next season.”
